Hello from Kentucky!

[CoffeeHen]

I retired from teaching high school this spring. I had told my husband & kids that when I retire we would travel some and then I would get some chickens ! (Chicken research on breeds-temperament/child gentle/dual purpose/ brown eggs and coops had been on-going for two years on the sly. ) After the first week of COVID-19 and binge watching The Tiger King my husband, son, & I decided this behavior is going to STOP! My son with his young adult energy who normally focuses on work and working out announced he needed a project that required activity.
“You can build me a chicken coop & run...” I suggested, knowing no big trips would be taken for awhile. “I can DO that!!!”, said he.
I ordered chicks and they ( father & son) ordered lumber & hardware cloth and got to work.
Chickens are now two months old and have brought smiles & laughter to everyone in the family.
We usually have our morning coffee while sitting on the front porch. Our coop is technically in the front side-yard so we now enjoy watching chicken antics with our morning coffee!
